Funny you would say that, I was on the hunt for the remake of the Jordan RC card. I ripped open at least 10+ boxes of those blasters from Wal-mart and all. I didnt get the RC remake card, but I got something almost as good from Jordan in his younger years. Anyways, I held on to that card for at least 3 years before I got it graded. I put it in one of those think card cases and held onto it tightly. I decided to send it in to get it graded and I bet a friend of mines it would get a 9.5 and he said no way maybe a 9 at best. Needless to say it came back a 9.5. From that day forward I told myself I wanted nothing but graded cards. My count of graded cards is like 20 I think, yeah and I have some 60 others I want graded. Its just the price to do it kills, but very priceless when they are finally done. And great feeling knowing they are safe!!! Sorry for the long rant, but I totally understand what you meant by that statement. Time to bring back the graded card thread!!! God!!! I want more now...lol
